✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hendrick's Orbium is a distilled gin produced in Girvan, Scotland, by William Grant & Sons. Crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, this spirit is an evolution of the original Hendrick's Gin recipe. It is infused with additional botanicals, notably blue lotus blossom, cinchona bark (quinine), and wormwood, which complement the signature cucumber and rose distillates. The production involves a combination of two different stills—the Bennett pot still and the Carter-Head copper column still—to extract a balance of heavy and light botanical characters. The resulting spirit is dry, herbaceous, and distinctly bitter.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Hendrick's blev lanceret i 1999 af det familieejede destilleri William Grant & Sons og fremstilles i det dedikerede Gin Palace i Girvan i det skotske Ayrshire. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie revolutionerede moderne ginproduktion ved at forene destillater fra to vidt forskellige, historiske kobberkedler: en fyldig Bennett pot still fra 1860 og en elegant Carter-Head vapour infusion still fra 1948. Denne dobbeltdestillation fuldendes af brandets ikoniske signaturinfusion med sprød agurk og bulgarske Rosa Damascena-rosenblade. Ud over den klassiske flagskibsgin fortsætter Hendrick's med at være en pioner inden for kategorien gennem Gracies anmelderroste Cabinet of Curiosities-serie, der byder på opfindsomme særudgaver som Lunar, Neptunia og Grand Cabaret.
